By Palestine Chronicle Staff  

The Government Media Office in Gaza stated that famine is now rapidly killing tens of thousands of families, amid a complete lack of food and medicine.

Meanwhile, several ambulances in the Gaza Strip have ceased operating due to fuel depletion and Israel’s ongoing ban on the entry of fuel, spare parts, batteries, and oils. As a result, paramedics and families of the injured are being forced to rely on alternative means, such as carts and animals.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed 52,810 and injured 119,473 others, the majority of whom are women and children, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.
